"Every Friday throughout the 2025 NFL season, Matt Bowen will offer up some late-week pickup options to help fill those holes, with an emphasis on deeper leagues. Because of that, this column will focus mostly on players rostered in fewer than 50% of ESPN leagues, with occasional exceptions. Wide receiver injuries in Tampa and Arizona could open some doors for potential streaming options at the position in Week 7."
"Even if Mike Evans (hamstring) returns for the Monday night matchup in Detroit, Shepard can still play a key role with both Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) and Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) doubtful for the game. Shepard has seen at least four targets in five of six games played this season, with double-digit points in two. He can get loose after the catch. With Baker Mayfield playing at an MVP level, in a game that could be high-scoring, Shepard fits as a deeper-league pickup."
Late-week pickup options aim to help fantasy managers replace injured or bye-week players, with a focus on deeper leagues and players rostered under 50%. Injuries in Tampa Bay and Arizona create Week 7 streaming opportunities at wide receiver. Several available tight ends recently produced double-digit fantasy games and deserve consideration based on volume and scoring upside. A group of running backs on waivers offers both volume and touchdown potential. Quarterback options are limited by matchups this week, but one low-owned flier could provide upside. A defense owned in over 80% of leagues remains available and could produce usable fantasy points.
